Only databases which do not have a parent application of the same creator id will show up. Note the parent application must also be of type "appl". The "records" feature in the info panel shows the collective size of all databases associated with a given application.

Your should change the creator ID of your bitmap database to be that of your application's (my favorate tool for doing this is RsrcEdit, but there are others - search for it on palmgear.com).

Even better would be to embed your bitmap database inside your application. See the PToolbox bitmap section for more details on this.

The advantage of using the same creator id for all your app and its databases is that if the app should be deleted (through the palm delete menu option) all the databases will be automatically deleted with the application (along with any preferences). In other words, no orphan databases are left behind.

This is not a good idea because if you recompile, all the embedded bitmaps will be lost. It's best to keep the bitmap database a separate file, and to just embed it when you are ready to release.
